Alex Timbers is up for best director at the TonyAwards tonight for MoulinRouge. Revisit our 2019 profile of him here

Both your musicals live in elaborate worlds. How do you start creating a “Moulin Rouge” world, for example?

I find world-creation shows challenging but really satisfying. A lot of it’s fun and dreaming big, but a lot of it’s about being rigorous with rules of design and the period’s elements, shapes and costumes — but those things are juxtaposed in ways that feel surprising. You’d never have a baseball cap onstage in that time, but at the same time, the lighting and the sound are incredibly contemporary, like a pop concert.

Michael Cohen's advice to Mary TrumpMichael Cohen's advice to Mary Trump regarding the lawsuit fmr. Pres. Trump filed against her: 'I have read dozens of Donald Trump depositions. They are the dumbest written paper that you've ever seen. Nothing makes sense, everything is circular.' I cannot wrap my head around how a major mainstream news media outlet like MSNBC would put something like this in a tweet. It's insane that an entire news station is built around hating one man. Didn't Cohen represent him for years? I thought his testimony was going to put Trump away once and for all. Now he works for you? And we are supposed to trust that. Come on, guys. Let's ask Americans of the recent Presidents over the past say 50 yrs. which one would be the most likely to use the military against American citizens . Then ask which one would be most likely to start a civil war if they were to lose a second time ? Good luck corporate donors .
